Provider dispatched James to my property and he arrived promptly, and was courteous. A tree, in the park in front of my home, had fallen on the power line, and set up a "domino effect!" The power pole in the park was snapped, and then the power feed pole to my home was snapped off at the ground. Replacement of the poles was the city's responsibility. James reworked the panel box where wires had been pulled from the circuit breakers, restapled the wire up the side of the two-story home, using conduit where necessary; the wire was threaded through a mounting device which made them ready for the city electricians to attach. This was all done in a fast an efficient manner way ahead of the time that the city electrical workers needed them. This mount was 24 feet high on the corner of the home. City electricians said the work was done correctly and there were no problems . The company vehicle had all the necessary equipment for the repair. The price was very reasonable.
Description of Work: Provider dispatched James to my property. He called and stated he was in San Marco, Jax and would arrive in 30 minutes, which he did. Wires had been snatched from the circuit breakers, and from their attachment to the side of my home. James made the panel box ready, and remounted the wires to receive the city power supply.

They were great to work with, professional and thorough. They were patient with our questions and with the chaos of other contractors who were here working to remedy the other issues that we are dealing with as a result of the lightning strike. I am pleased with their quality of work and would absolutely hire them again.

and no call.called the provider and asked for an estimate. I was told they do that over the phone which I found strange because how can you give a close estimate without seeing the house. I was told by the receptionist that someone would call us back in a few hours . Well that has been since Tuesday morning and no call.

Our estimator did call back and left a message in an attempt to connect. Also, some jobs are estimated over the phone. With information and pictures available on the web, coupled with our team of estimator's extensive knowledge, many jobs are easily and accurately priced without a trip to the property. By this method, we are able to help keep cost down that turns into savings to the customer. Do not know what to say here, an "F" rating because we played phone tag? Well ok then. Please look at our, 300 plus "A" ratings to get a true snapshot of the superior customer service we offer at American Electrical Contracting.

They were excellent. They arrived exactly on time. Clay and Carl were very professional. They made sure everything was installed properly and made sure everything was done to my satisfaction. They went through all areas to ensure everything lines up so when I added the covers they would install properly. I could not be more satisfied with their work.

Did not deliver on a timely quote and did not quote what I'd asked for. Took repeated calls to the estimator to get 2 out of the 3 requested quotes (still have not received the 3rd quote) I would not recommend this company....
Description of Work: Had American Electrical come to my home May 1, 2015 fpr an electrical estimate to hook up a generator. Gave the estimator 3 options that I wished to have quoted and gave him detailed CAD drawings for his estimate. I informed American Electrical that I needed to have the estimate within one work week and the work done before June. Took 2 phone calls from me and almost 3 weeks before I got one of the three estimates that I asked for. (I have texted asking for the 3rd and most preferable option, but as of this writing, I have not received it)

There is no excuse for our performance in this matter. Our estimator most certainly fumbled the ball and did not recover. We apologize and have taken steps so that this does not happen again.

Our smoke alarm went off in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. American Electric was able to respond the next day and replaced it. We also had some electrical outlets that were loose and needed to be fixed. Their representative took extra time to make sure that the outlets were properly positioned. We were impressed with their attention to detail in the work they did.

Typically I'm a DIY'er but I know when there is a need to get a Pro. I was trying to raise the electrical boxes in my kitchen island because they were too close to the newly installed granite countertop. I was told it was no big deal to move the outlets after cutting the 2x4 just above them until I accidentally cut a wire that ran over the top of one of the outlet boxes. I used the Snapfix feature on the Angie's list app and got a response within a few minutes. I contacted the electrician I was linked to which was American Electrical Contracting. They had an electrician out to me the same day. Brian was very professional and went to work right away. I was so impressed that he had the wire I had accidentally cut and all five boxes moved up so the granite backsplash could be installed without further delay. He also took the $25 off for being an Angie's list customer. I would definitely hire again.
Description of Work: Moved 3 outlets and 2 light receptacles and fix a cut wire in the kitchen island.

The installers (Paul and Jim) were great. They arrived on time, worked with my wife to figure out the best location for the lights and mapped out the locations before they drilled holes, did an efficient job, kept us informed, and used our vacuum to clean up afterwards. He even took the time to tell me how to convert my regular recessed lights to LED in the future. No complaints at all. I would use them again for any of our future needs.

A tough one because the initial job was not done as per specs and contract. I thought it much too expensive for what was done initially despite having used this company previously. I gave them a 2nd opportunity to re-visit their work and my concerns. John Ebreo discussed the issues and assured me he would make everything satisfactory. In fact he did just that. So while my initial review would have been less than current, the fact that the company stood behind its word and all was made right meant a lot. That trust deserves a proper recommendation.

I have used American in the past and was satisfied, so I asked for an estimate on an upgrade on an historical duplex in Riverside. In a nutshell, they quoted a bunch of unnecessary work. They wanted to move JEA meters and relocate panels across the house. I got the work done for $2000 less, needless to say. They also caused me some hardship since I was facing having my insurance cancelled if the work was not done by a deadline set by the insurance company. The quote took a long time and my insurance was cancelled. I inquired about the quote and wanted to know why it could not be done more cheaply. I received no response. The less-expensive solution I ending up going with passed city inspection, so there was no issue with its appropriateness. American just over bid on unnecessary work.
Description of Work: Provided an estimate for replacement of 2 150 amp breaker panels and 2 exterior disconnects. Estimate: $5000.00

Response from American Electrical Contracting Inc
American Electrical Contracting was asked to quote 2- 200a upgrades for this two story duplex. It took a week to ten days to get the proposal due to the fact that JEA engineering must give a service locate when the building service is re-worked. The request went to JEA over the holidays and due to JEA people being off on vacation, locates did not happen very fast. We ultimatly met with JEA on site and then provided an estimate to the customer on 1-7-2015. The customer was quoted on the scope of work that he requested and apparently decided to get additional pricing from other contractors. He decided to go with another company with a different scope of work. That is his prerogative. The other company pulled their permit on 2-4-2015, nearly a month after we provided our quote to the customer. Almost a month lapsed between our quote and the work was done by another contractor. So, his losing his insurance is American Electric’s fault when he waited nearly a month to get going? I do not think so. There are different levels of what will pass city inspection and insurance inspection. We quoted on what he said his insurance company wanted. We do not know what the other contractor did, but the fact is that you cannot get two 200a service upgrades, with panel relocates, done on a two story duplex for $2,950.00. They obviously did less work for less money and the bids were not apples to apples. We quoted work as requested and the customer decided to have the lesser of the two jobs done and somehow we deserve an “F” rating for our efforts. Not really sure why we deserve an “F” rating for the customer not liking our scope of work and our free estimate. Of our 331 reviews, 296 are “A” ratings by our Angie’s List customers. We did not get all these “A” reviews by mistreating customers. Sometimes customers are not happy with a job that we actually performed and when that happens, we bend over backwards to fix any issues and leave the customer with a smile. In this issue, however, we did NO work for the customer. Only gave him a free estimate and free legwork with JEA and received an “F” rating.
